Can you patent a name of a business?

[JimIvey]

No.

Try trademarks.

Dear Chyna Scott,

You can use the name as a trademark or service mark and then register the mark.

Before you get involved with that, it would be well to check and see if the original use or trademark us is likely to be in trouble or if the mark is registerable.
